Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR THE DOUGH
1/2 c sugar
4 c all purpose flour
1/2 lb lard
1/2 lb butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons)
4 egg yolks
1 c sour cream
FOR NUT FILLING
2 c ground nuts ( i use walnuts)
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Put yeast in sour cream. Add egg yolks. Mix well. Let stand.
  • 2. Cut shortening and lard in flour. Add sugar. Mix in the yeast mixture and add vanilla. Mix well. Refrigerate over night (at least 6 hours) or up to several days.
  • 3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using about a fourth of the dough at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the refrigerator, roll dough out onto a floured surface into about a 9 inch circle. Cut into 16 crescent shapes from circle. (like very small pizza slices) :) (see how nice and even mine are? lol!) Doesnt matter, they still taste wonderful!
  • 4. FOR THE NUT FILLING: Combine all ingredients and mix well.
  • 5. Spoon a tiny bit of filling onto the broad end of the crescent slices and roll from broad side to short side like a crescent. Place seam side down, pressing gently to make sure they dont unroll.
  • 6. Bake @ 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes until just golden. Let cool on racks. Before serving, powder with powdered sugar. These can be frozen for later use. Bring to room temperature and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

These nut horns were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I used a different nut filling than the recipe called for and they turned out great! I think you could really use any kind of nut filling you like.
